Tree topping is a practice that can do much more harm than good.
The goal is to reduce the size of the tree, but it compromises the tree's
health, and can lead to a hazardous situation if the tree dies.
Seaside recommends a variety of alternatives to tree topping.

you would like us to evaluate for you free of charge.
Mulching involves covering the top layer of soil with materials

A great number of things could be compromising the health of your tree
or shrub. Its condition could be caused by a nutrient imbalance in the
soil, or it could have a parasite problem, could be infected with a
disease, or the problem may be environmental. If the cause is parasites
or a disease, the problem could spread to your healthy trees and shrubs if
left untreated. Contact us today for a free
